umockdev FTBFS on Alpha with the test suite hanging [1]:
Summary of Failures:
1/7 umockdev:umockdev TIMEOUT 150.85s killed
by signal 9 SIGKILL
4/7 umockdev:umockdev-run TIMEOUT 150.73s killed

5/7 fails-valgrind - umockdev:umockdev-record TIMEOUT 150.81s killed
by signal 9 SIGKILL
7/7 fails-valgrind - umockdev:umockdev.py TIMEOUT 150.70s killed
by signal 9 SIGKILL
The reason for the hang is that the libumockdev-preload library
attempts to open libc as "libc.so.6" whereas on Alpha it is
"libc.so.6.1" so the dlopen() call fails of which libumockdev
does not even bother to check has succeeded before proceeding.
I attach a patch that detects if libumockdev-preload is being
compiled on Alpha and then uses the correct libc name. With that
umockdev builds to completion on Alpha.
Cheers,
Michael
